Sheriff Tim Rogers said Pace was alone and secure in a tree stand approximately 20 feet off the ground. Pace suffered a single gunshot wound to the head from a handgun, Rogers said. Pace died on property he owned and was discovered by a friend, Rogers said.

Rogers said the body was transported from the scene to the Coshocton County Coroner's Office for further examination.

Bryant, who is heading up the investigation locally, said he had no new information to release Tuesday afternoon. He said the local investigation was being coordinated with ODNR and he was waiting to receive more information from their investigators.
